The Abundant Life

We are all looking for a life that is abundant and full.  Well, the Christian life is like that.  This on thing Jesus tells us that He came to do for His children.  Look at John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  Now, how do we do that?

  • We must get fed up – Jeremiah 15:16, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. ”  We must be careful what we put into us each moment of each day.  If we put garbage in we will get garbage coming out.  We are like a funnel.
  • We must get fueled up – Ephesians 5:18, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”  We must be careful who and what we allow to control us.  I know, I hear all the time “I can handle it.”
  • We must get fired up– Luke 24:32, “And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?”  Do you ever have “spiritual heartburn”?  If we get fed up on the Scriptures and filled up with the Spirit of God then we will get fired up and have a burning desire in our hearts of follow Christ and serve Him.
  • We must go fetch them up– Luke 14:23, “And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”  It is time for God’s people to leave their sparkling sanctuaries and go out to where people are and share the gospel with them.  He commanded us to “go”.

Dear Christian friends, we must be feeding on God’s Word daily, we must get fueled up, we must must get fired up and we must go fetch up the lost and bring them into God’s fold.

So, how are you doing?
